Woven into the fabric of our unique American culture is the timeless wisdom of founding father, Benjamin Franklin.  Franklin, the author of the phrase, “An Ounce of Prevention is worth a Pound of Cure”, would be appalled at much that is going on in American politics, but probably not…

                        Since Barack Obama has said he is going to send federal agents into Oklahoma and other states to enforce Obamacare, what is there to make me believe he won’t send federal agents in to enforce his gun registration/confiscation scheme?  If he “dictates” an executive order that I have to turn in or register any weapons and I refuse, who is going to enforce that dictate?  If Congress decrees that I cannot own particular types of weapons or…

On January 26, 2013, the Librarian of Congress issued a ruling that made it illegal to unlock new phones. Unlocking is a technique to allow your phone to use a different carrier. Doing so could place you…

 An Open Letter to Senator Dianne Feinstein:

 Senator, for years you have been harping about America having “too many guns”.  Your commitment to taking firearms out of the hands of your fellow citizens is well-known, but you have really topped yourself now.

 In fact, I think you may have broken some kind of record.  Your so-called “Assault Weapons Ban” contains so many errors and unconstitutional provisions that you would put the most committed dictator to shame. …

I am compelled to share with you a dirty little secret.  This secret is one that the government doesn’t want you to know, especially your State legislators, that is if you have one like my dear senator Don Gaetz. 

You see, senators like Don Gaetz will tell you that if you believe in the sovereignty of the States, if you believe that the States bear the right to nullify unconstitutional federal law, well, you should be “shot and hanged” (yes, he actually said that,…

     I for one don’t Buy the ascension of Chairman Zero, I can’t stomach a tyrant at this point, my stomach still being full of liberty and all. I know a lot of people will say that you are not really free these days,  but  I have a tendency to use liberty to it’s fullest, so I  feel more free than many.  It’s easy to feel that freedom when your attitude is “Well f@ck off then,will you?”.   I’m the kind of guy that when ticketed unfairly will steal something from the state to recoup…

Original Post: http://drfreeth.wordpress.com/2013/01/23/5-ways-to-complain-about-a-government-welfare-system/

I was going for a long walk late this evening, when I began to think about complaints I hear about government welfare. My thoughts have led me to compile a list of 5 ways to best lodge our complaints about the government-run welfare system. Here we…

I'm sorry I have been harping on things folks don't want to hear lately, but I think it my duty to say what I think is the truth. I applaud the determination some show, but it's really long past time to recognize some fundamental truths. Even if the United States could be saved, which it can't, conservatives need to get this idea that the United States is somehow sacred out of their heads. It's very near blasphemy, and beyond that, it's a self destructive…

Well, John Boehner took time out from his latest sob-fest to come out with promises that he is going to “do things differently now”, he “has learned his lesson”.  We are hearing to same old tired rhetoric we heard before the 2010 mid-term elections.  Didn’t he come into the Speaker’s chair promising to “drain the swamp”, to use Nancy Pelosi’s famous lie?  Didn’t Boehner say that Republicans have “learned our lessons” and would “do things differently if given a chance”, uh, as in 3 years…

Patriots,

We have been here before. We stand in the shadow of Tyranny, and it drives an unbearable chill through the souls of Free Men. The last time we stood here, we threw off the mountain of Tyranny against us, stood on our principles, brought a just war against our oppressors in government, and exposed ourselves and our Brethren to the full light and warmth of Liberty. 

The shadow of Tyranny has once again fallen across our country. The chill to Freedom is quickly becoming…

As pundits and politicians alike debate Senator Dianne Feinstein’s proposed “assault weapons” ban, it seems to me that we are looking at this issue all wrong.

All the arguments, charges, and counter-charges have turned the whole debate into a complicated mess, when the whole gun issue boils down to one issue:  the Constitution.

Now, for socialists and progressives, the Constitution has no real relevance unless it can be used to keep their enemies in check.  As far as they are…

First Amendment: A federal appeals court has reinstated lawsuits from  two religious colleges against the HHS contraception mandate, saying promises to  rework it aren't enough. Can a group of nuns helping the poor be protected?

On Tuesday, a chink in ObamaCare's armor developed as…

THE BIRTHRIGHTS OF CITIZENSHIP

We are part of a unique experience in human communities. The social behavior of early mankind was simple – the strong overcame the weak. It was acceptable and understandable to all. The struggle for personal freedoms was never considered; the struggle was always for the survival of the group. The privileged group may have issues with or disdain for the weaker group but they always expected dominance. Every once in a while the weaker group would rise up…

So…What exactly DOES an Islamic terrorist have to do with atheists and the war on Christmas?

More than you might think and for entirely different reasons than you might think.

Have I gone MAD?

Maybe but…Allow me to connect a few unlikely dots and then you can be the judge.

Hang on, this might be a little tricky.

How far from reality has our society gone?

As we wake each day, read the press, and listen to the news; does it not seem strange—as if we’ve entered some universe where the opposite of reality seems normal?

Reading this headline; “Schools Teaching Boston Tea Party As Terrorist Act,”…

The radical feminists’ push for universal access to contraception went on steroids with the just-released report from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).

Its annual report, “The State of World Population 2012: By Choice, Not by Chance: Family Planning, Human Rights and Development,”…

Will you vote against Obama’s war on The Soul of America and its religious freedom Tuesday, November 6th? In President Barack Obama's first term he took advantage of the 340,000 social conservative who did not show up at the polls in 2008’s presidential election. Armed with this free…
